REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On

the “Company”), Richard B. Evans, gave a presentation on the aluminum industry
at CRU’s 11th
World
Aluminum Conference. The presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and
is
incorporated by reference.
The
Company has also issued a press release, attached hereto as Exhibit
99.2.
The
information included in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed to be
"filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that
section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration
statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific
reference in such filing.
Forward-Looking
Statements
Statements
made in the exhibits hereto which describe the Company's or management's
objectives, projections, estimates, expectations or predictions of the future
may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of securities laws,
which
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes",
"expects", "may", "will", "should", "estimates", "anticipates" or the negative
thereof or other variations thereon. All statements that address the
Company's expectations or projections about the future including statements
about the Company's growth, cost reduction goals, expenditures and financial
results are forward-looking statements. The Company cautions that, by their
nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty and that
the
Company's actual actions or results could differ materially from those expressed
or implied in such forward-looking statements or could affect the extent
to
which a particular projection is realized. Reference should be made to the
Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of factors
that
could cause such differences.
